The temperament of this film is really, really fucking charming!
This charm comes from two points: first, thinking about the extremely horrible details. Second, a tight and loose sense of rhythm.
This is an exquisite film, and the details are definitely worthy of "each holds its own terrain and intrigues."
For example, at a family dinner, Watanabe picked up a handkerchief and gave it to Xiao Liu. Later, after he killed the driver and raped Xiao Liu, he wiped the blood on the car with a handkerchief handed by Xiao Liu, hesitated and threw it away. Xiaoliu was trapped indoors for her to vent.
For example, when Watanabe came home from killing someone, his wife was having breakfast and handed the child a steamed stuffed bun. At this time, she was pregnant. We know that Watanabe just imprisoned Xiao Liu in the basement. Later, two children were playing in the yard. Later in Luzon Island, the driver Du Chun shot and killed his eldest son in front of Watanabe, and Xiaoliu put his hand over Watanabe's youngest son, the child who was still in his mother's belly when he was imprisoned.
For example, the driver Du Chun, what is his relationship with Wang Ma? When she first arrived in Lufu, Wang Ma warned him, "Don't look at people's eyes too high, don't look too low, be natural." Later, she took him to meet people. A slow mirror on the road is Wang Ma's turn. Du Chun at this time has been covered by murderous look. It was Wang Ma who strongly recommended Du Chun to Mr. Lu, saying, "No matter what you do or who you kill, you only charge a fare." . Who is Wang Ma? Further on, everyone said that Xiao Zhang, who delivered the takeaway, was teased by Wang Ma and dared not come.
For example, Xiao Liu was imprisoned by Watanabe, making love every day, using the same posture, and the woman was in the upper position. The perspective is always Watanabe's perspective. The female's active and rhythmically controlled sexual posture is completed by a prisoner. Later, she put on a kimono. The disappearance of romanticism is the result of seesaw between subjective and objective sides.
..... wait, wait, wait.
What is rare is that the romantic rhythm has not collapsed. It has always been orderly and step by step.
Elegant and violent, pure and erotic.
The warmest love words in the film are all said by the husband who betrayed his wife for the sake of high officials and rich salaries. "No matter where I am, my heart will always be with you."
The purest love words in the film are all spoken in the most vulgar language. The gangster said to the prostitute, "I'm addicted and want to keep doing it."
Fans should be more interested in watching romance.
At home, there are Erwuzai, Corleone's brother-in-law in Godfather and Corleone's second brother in Romance.
When the second brother sent someone to kill Du Jiang and others, the machine gun leaned out of the window, and the bullet hit the person with lotus flower splash, which is also the style of "godfather".
After the murder in the restaurant, the camera goes over the lintel along the ceiling, which is very taxi driver's style.
Xiao Liu dallied with Miss Zhao, like "2046" and Quentin.
Watanabe whistled several times, once after being shot in the restaurant and once after being injured on the battlefield. The experience of watching M is the murderer tells us that whistling is violence.
Xiao Wu killed the station part of his second brother, as if he had returned to the former station in the United States.
The fascinating song in the film is called Moon Rvier.

At the end of the film, the naked Japanese soldiers in the Philippine prison camp stand up straight when they look at the camera.
The technical means of the film are also oblique fog, separation of sound and picture, cross-editing and symmetrical composition, all of which are exquisite.
But the problem of film is still very prominent.
The sense of form in the film is fascinating, but the driving force behind these feelings is too weak. In other words, form needs to serve motivation. Quentin is very Wong Kar-wai and Coppola. If it is not based on events and characters' motives, the outstanding form can only be cool.
Director Cheng Er inserted so many beautiful details, but the direction of these details was not tamed by the theme. Just like the sun also rises, if the details are only details, then the aftertaste space is compressed into what you see is what you get.
There are always branches sticking out in the middle of the film, causing illusion. The director is not as determined as he thinks, and is often led by details, which creates obstacles for audiences at different levels. Even some branches are too long, causing interference. The chicken part is bloated.
You can see the creative Wang Yang's wanton talent, and you can also see that this talent has not been combed. So there are good sentences but no good chapters.
It flew, but it flew.
